Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since your mother is a diabetic patient , she can donate kidney to his son as diabetes is a disease of pancreas .
As far concerned about the good health of mother and son it depends upon the donor's other kidney and receiver's further complications.
If every thing remains alright person can survive up to normal age .
Mind it in kidney patient serum creatinine level is very important and it be maintained around 1 at any cost.
Infection is another factor which influence the life of a patient ( organ transplant).
Good luck.
Dr. HET

Hi
Thanks for the query.
If a person is a diabetic we usually do not advice him/her to donate a kidney. This is because diabetes can affect the kidneys of the donor and if he/she has only one kidney the risks are greater.
However in exceptional cases people with diabetes can donate a kidney but only after extensive testing. So I would advice you to have a detailed discussion with the nephrologist and understand the risks and benefits to your mother before proceeding with the surgery.
After a successful transplant the quality of life is much improved. Kidney transplant is the best treatment option for a young patient like your brother.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
